Replacement speaker advice

Hey Fellers, I blew a speaker in my GK210BLX-II at rehearsal last night. Now I understand this is GK's cheapie line, and I only bought the cab to leave at our rehearsal space, and that's what I've done with it. It had very low hours on it, and was not played loudly. I amplify it with an Ashdown Electric Blue 180 watt head, so it's not like I was feeding it mondo power. But anyways, that's not my question, and I suppose that's what I get for buying the cheapest non Behringer cab I could find.....

Anyway, I've never dealt in the replacement speaker game. Anyone have any good, budget, suggestions for a replacement speaker?
I'll probably replace both just so the speakers in the cab match.
So..anyone who knows where I may be able to get two decently priced 10 inch speakers, post away. I assume I'd need two 16 ohm speakers, to maintain the 8 ohm load the cab currently has.
 
Well, the first place I would look is GK. You want a speaker that is designed to work in that box. So, first see what they want for a like driver. If that is not ideal, then I would check Parts Express. If you give them as much information about the cab as possible, they may be able to help you pick a good driver.
